Warri, Nigeria — The International Human Rights Commission – IHRC Corporation in Nigeria has formally commended the Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC) at the Warri Medium Security Custodial Centre, Mr. Richard Egbede, for his exemplary adherence to international human rights principles and reform-driven leadership within the correctional system.

The recognition follows an independent monitoring mission conducted by the South South Regional Coordinator of the IHRC Special Monitoring Mission (SMM), Comrade Fidelis Onakpoma, as part of IHRC’s ongoing nationwide assessments of human rights compliance in custodial facilities.

The mission was initiated under the directive of H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Ambassador-at-Large and Head of Diplomatic Mission of IHRC in Nigeria, and supervised by the SMM National Coordinator, Engr. Comrade Elijah Vitus Echendu, highlighting IHRC’s long-standing institutional partnership with the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).

Commendation for Reform-Oriented and People-Centred Leadership

Leading the IHRC delegation, Comrade Francis Uwa, IHRC SMM Official for Delta State, praised DCC Egbede for cultivating a management culture that balances discipline, rehabilitation, and respect for human dignity.

He noted that the Warri facility reflects “an environment where correction and compassion coexist in line with global standards.”

Comrade Uwa further described DCC Egbede as:

“An exemplary officer whose conduct aligns with the IHRC’s mission of advancing justice, fairness, and humane treatment for all inmates. Our visit to Warri confirms that Nigeria has officers who uphold integrity and professionalism even in challenging environments.”

IHRC Leadership Highlights National Significance

SMM National Coordinator Engr. Comrade Elijah Vitus Echendu emphasized that the Warri visit demonstrates IHRC’s proactive strategy to strengthen human rights accountability within correctional centres.

He stated:

“The efforts of DCC Richard Egbede reflect the transformation we envision across Nigeria’s correctional system. He represents a generation of officers who view correctional service as service to humanity, not punishment.”

Endorsing the field report, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah commended the leadership of the Nigerian Correctional Service for fostering an environment where officers such as Egbede can uphold professionalism and compassion.

According to Ambassador Duru:

“The International Human Rights Commission remains steadfast in partnering with the Nigerian government to reinforce the human rights framework within correctional facilities. IHRC will continue to support reform-minded officers whose work strengthens justice and human dignity.”

Role of NCoS and Next Steps in Nationwide Monitoring

IHRC also acknowledged the Controller-General of the Nigerian Correctional Service and the Delta State Controller of Corrections for cultivating institutional conditions that promote accountability, transparency, and rehabilitation-based corrections.

As part of its national mandate, IHRC announced plans to broaden its monitoring and partnership missions to correctional centres across the country, contributing to a stronger human rights culture and improved inmate rehabilitation.

This mission forms part of IHRC’s flagship Correctional Human Rights Strengthening Project (CHRSP) — a long-term initiative to support humane correctional practices and structural reforms throughout Nigeria.

IHRC Nigeria Highlights the Urgent Call to Protect and Empower Girls Facing Religious and Cultural Exploitation

Abuja, Nigeria – October 2025.
As the world commemorates the International Day of the Girl Child 2025, the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC Corporation) joins the global community in amplifying this year’s theme — “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls in the Frontline of Crisis.” The message resonates deeply across Nigeria, where countless girls continue to endure the devastating effects of religious manipulation, ritual abuse, and cultural exploitation.

Across various communities, what should serve as a sanctuary of faith and moral guidance has, in some instances, turned into a setting of fear and psychological harm. Unscrupulous spiritual figures and false prophets exploit the innocence of young girls, often with the misguided consent of parents who seek protection or miracles. Under the guise of religion, these girls are subjected to forced initiations, ritual practices, and mental trauma — acts that erode their dignity, deprive them of education, and extinguish their hope for a brighter future.

This disturbing trend forms the core of IHRC Nigeria’s reflection for this year’s observance. The Commission emphasises that girls must not be seen merely as victims but as agents of transformation — capable of leading change, promoting justice, and building peace even amid adversity.

“When we empower the girl, we shape the destiny of a generation. The girl child is not a victim of the system; she is the architect of a better world.”
— Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Head of Diplomatic Mission, IHRC Nigeria.

Under the leadership of Dr. Hezekiah, IHRC Nigeria Mission continues to collaborate with national institutions, development agencies, and civil society partners to strengthen child protection mechanisms, advocate for equal educational opportunities, and uphold the fundamental rights of girls across the country.

The Commission reiterates its unwavering stance:
no child should ever be used as an instrument of ritual, manipulation, or spiritual exploitation.

IHRC calls upon families, faith leaders, educators, and local communities to take shared responsibility in building an environment where every girl can grow in safety, dignity, and freedom.

“When we protect the girl child, we protect the future,”
— added Dr. Duru Hezekiah.

Abuja, Nigeria – September 2025

IHRC Rescue Mission Unmasks Shocking Human Trafficking Plot

A teenage girl trafficked from Benue State to Imo State under the guise of employment was dramatically rescued following the swift intervention of the International Human Rights Commission (IHRC Corporation) Nigeria.

According to initial reports, the victim was deceived with promises of legitimate restaurant work but was forced into prostitution upon arrival in Imo State.

Operation by Special Monitoring Mission

The rescue was executed by the IHRC Special Monitoring Mission (SMM), led by Comrade Elijah Vitus Echendu, and sanctioned by H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Head of Diplomatic Mission. The mission followed a tip-off from a vigilant citizen.

When the IHRC team stormed the hotspot, the traffickers fled the premises, highlighting the clandestine nature of the operation. The girl was safely removed and reunited with her family in Benue State.

IHRC Leaders Speak Out

“This is not an isolated case. Human trafficking thrives in the shadows, and we must act swiftly and decisively. Protecting women and children remains our top priority,”
– Comrade Elijah Vitus Echendu, National Coordinator.

“We cannot allow traffickers to feel untouchable. Combating this crime is a shared duty. Citizens must stay vigilant and report suspicious activities,”
– Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Head of Diplomatic Mission.

Next Steps: Nationwide Mobilisation

IHRC has engaged law enforcement to track and dismantle the trafficking network. In addition, IHRC Nigeria will convene a Stakeholders’ Engagement Meeting in Abuja, bringing together the Police, NAPTIP, Civil Defence, National Orientation Agency and other key actors to strengthen partnerships, enhance intelligence sharing, and implement preventive measures.

A Global Alarm

Human trafficking remains one of Nigeria’s gravest challenges, with countless young girls exposed to deception, forced labour, and sexual exploitation. Rights groups emphasise the urgent need for stronger law enforcement, awareness campaigns, and victim rehabilitation.

This intervention gave one girl a chance to rebuild her life – but it also sends a clear message: IHRC will not relent until every trafficking chain is broken.

IHRC Commends DSS DG on Detainees’ Release and Compensation, Urges Sustained Human Rights Reforms Across Security Agencies

IHRC Welcomes Decisive Action by DSS

The International Human Rights Commission – IHRC Corporation Nigeria, led by the Head of Diplomatic Mission, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, extends its commendation to the Department of State Services (DSS) under the direction of Director General Mr. Tosin Ajayi for the release of twelve detainees, including an individual held since 2022.

“This release, accompanied by financial compensation and a formal apology, marks a significant step toward the domestication of international human rights norms and the restoration of dignity for affected individuals.”

Such gestures underscore DSS’s evolving commitment to human rights, in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards.

A Symbol of Accountability and Institutional Reform

IHRC recognises this action as a powerful symbol of accountability and institutional integrity. It echoes the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which strives to reposition Nigerian institutions to uphold fairness, justice, and civil liberties.

Ongoing Systemic Reforms Needed

While this move is praiseworthy, IHRC highlights the persistent need for systemic reform across all of Nigeria’s security architecture. Issues such as:

• Arbitrary detention
• Prolonged incarceration without trial
• Lack of access to legal representation

continue to pose significant challenges. IHRC calls upon all security agencies—including the Police, Military Intelligence, and Correctional Services—to adopt a unified code of conduct based on human dignity, rule of law, and the right to fair hearing.

Towards a Human Rights-Centred Security Sector

“We urge the DSS and all security institutions to implement internal audit mechanisms, prevent abuse of power, and establish transparent public complaint channels,” states the IHRC.

IHRC remains committed to collaborative efforts in human rights education, policy development, and community-based reconciliation. The organisation stands ready to support Nigerian security agencies in training, humanitarian response, and community policing.

Building a Just and Humane Nigeria

In line with IHRC’s global mission—to defend human rights, uphold international justice, and assist vulnerable populations—IHRC reiterates its willingness to partner with state agencies in advancing human rights compliance.

IHRC thanks DSS leadership for this progressive action, expressing hope that it will inspire similar reforms throughout all Nigerian security institutions.

“Let this not only be a moment of commendation, but a new beginning for justice, equity, and humanity in Nigeria.”

Abuja, Nigeria – 28 May 2025 – The International Human Rights Commission Corporation (IHRC) in Nigeria expresses its deep concern regarding the recent closure of a major market in Anambra State by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). The development has led to significant public anxiety and debate, heightening tensions among traders, local communities, and various stakeholders across the state.

According to the official NAFDAC report, between 9 February and 27 March 2025, the Agency conducted an extensive enforcement operation targeting major Open Drug Markets: Idumota (Lagos), Aba (Abia), and Onitsha (Anambra). These operations resulted in the seizure and destruction of large quantities of banned, expired, falsified, and substandard medicines and controlled substances, collectively valued at over one trillion Naira. Investigations indicated that warehouses, shops, and distribution outlets within these markets failed to adhere to the Good Storage and Distribution Practice (GSDP) standards and operated without registration by the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria (PCN), in contravention of established national regulations.

NAFDAC has clarified that, pursuant to federal regulations, investigative charges were imposed on non-compliant operators. Notably, the initial N5,000,000 charge for the sale of unregistered products was reduced to N200,000 after appeals, while the N2,000,000 charge for GSDP violations was reduced to N500,000. According to NAFDAC, “these penalties are officially gazetted charges and were applied fairly across the affected markets.”

IHRC’s Official Position and Recommendations

In an official press statement, H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, IHRC Country Representative, has called for calm, dialogue, and restraint from all parties—including affected traders, community leaders, and regulatory authorities. The IHRC strongly urges all stakeholders to refrain from any actions that could escalate the situation or undermine public order.

While recognising NAFDAC’s statutory mandate to regulate pharmaceuticals and ensure public health and safety, the IHRC emphasizes that transparency, due process, and constructive dialogue are essential in the enforcement of regulatory actions—especially where livelihoods are impacted.

The IHRC reiterates that regulatory enforcement must be guided by the principles of fairness, transparency, and the protection of human dignity. To this end, the Commission recommends:

1. Initiating comprehensive dialogue with all stakeholders, including market unions, civil society organisations, and local authorities, to foster mutual understanding and cooperation.

2. Prioritising educational and corrective enforcement strategies over punitive market closures, thereby promoting voluntary compliance and sustainable public health outcomes.

3. Safeguarding the fundamental rights of traders, particularly the right to livelihood, in line with Nigeria’s constitutional and international human rights obligations.

Furthermore, the IHRC appeals to the Federal Government to intervene urgently and ensure a fair and peaceful resolution. The Commission also recommends the establishment of an independent review panel to assess the closure’s circumstances and recommend appropriate remedial actions consistent with human rights principles and the rule of law.

Commitment to Justice and Human Dignity

The IHRC remains steadfast in its commitment to justice, equity, and the protection of human rights for all Nigerians. The Commission stands ready to facilitate dialogue among all relevant parties to achieve a constructive, equitable, and lasting resolution.

IHRC calls upon both the Anambra State and Federal authorities to support this process, prevent further escalation of tensions, and ensure that justice and human dignity remain central to regulatory governance.

ABUJA, Nigeria – 24 April 2025
The International Human Rights Commission IHRC Corporation in Nigeria has issued a powerful call to the Nigerian government to prioritize comprehensive security reforms, including the deployment of advanced technological solutions to address the root causes of the ongoing insecurity crisis.

In an official statement, the IHRC expressed deep concern over the alarming wave of senseless killings that continue to threaten the safety, dignity, and peace of Nigerian citizens.

“The protection of life and property is fundamental. We urge the government to take bold, immediate, and technology-driven steps to investigate these acts of violence and hold the perpetrators accountable.”
— H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, Head of Diplomatic Mission, IHRC Nigeria.

Escalating Violence Across the Nation

The IHRC specifically highlighted the deteriorating security situation in Plateau, Borno, Kwara, and Benue States, where civilians are frequently subjected to gross human rights violations and humanitarian disasters. These crises, according to the Commission, have international implications, contributing to wider global humanitarian emergencies.

Ambassador Hezekiah noted that while terrorism and banditry dominate the northeast and northwest, kidnappings plague the north and parts of the south, and armed attacks by unidentified gunmen continue in the southeast.

Strategic Reforms and Community Engagement Needed

The IHRC advocates for the implementation of a Comprehensive Security Reform (CSR) policy framework that:

• Integrates modern surveillance and data technologies,
• Establishes strong oversight mechanisms,
• Promotes community-level engagement, rooted in the cultural and socio-economic realities of each region.

“We cannot allow political interests to override public safety. A united, coordinated response—grounded in justice and accountability—is essential.”
— Dr. Duru Hezekiah, IHRC.

The Commission also called on Nigerian citizens to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, underscoring that security is a collective responsibility.

Confidence in Leadership and Appeal for Unity

Ambassador Duru expressed confidence in President Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, citing his history of standing for democracy, including the 1993 NADECO Street March. He urged the President to act decisively for the good of the nation:

“You have done it before; please do it again—for the good of all Nigerians.”

Solidarity With the Victims

As the country mourns the tragic loss of lives, IHRC extended condolences and solidarity to the families affected by violence. The organization reiterated its commitment to peace, development, and human rights, reaffirming its role as a strategic monitor and advocate.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. We stand firmly with the people of Nigeria.”

Nigeria: The Special Monitoring Mission of the International Human Rights Commission (SMM IHRC) in Abuja joined the world in commemoration of the 2023 World Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking at Jordan 93.9FM.

The program led by the Zonal Volunteers Coordinator in Abuja, Comrade Adèoye David flanked by other Volunteers, Comrade Paul and Divine was done to create awareness and enlighten the public on the abuse of drugs.

Scholars have argued that tens of millions of people suffer from drug use disorders while less than one-fifth are in treatment.

Drug users are doubly victimized: first by the harmful effects of the drugs themselves, and second by the stigma and discrimination they face.

People who use drugs can often face significant barriers to treatment and even health services for infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and hepatitis. Meanwhile, drug traffickers continue to prey on drug users, rapidly escalating the production of dangerous, highly addictive synthetic drugs.

This year’s International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking focuses on the need to put people first by ending stigma and discrimination and strengthening prevention.

This means stressing rehabilitation, rather than punishment and incarceration for minor drug offenses. It means upholding the human rights of people who use drugs, including by expanding prevention and treatment programs and health services.

It also means protecting people and communities alike by ending impunity for drug traffickers profiting from people’s pain. See pictures below:
